A purple sky.
Even if this sky felt unfamiliar, Riser strangely felt uncomfortable under this sky, yet once again, the landscape before him was peculiar.
While he had seen this scenery before, he didn't dare to observe it carefully as he had just become Riser, and he had his family in his surroundings, so he had appeared nonchalant and even bored.
Still, when he walked out with Ravel, he couldn't help but glance in a subtle manner, observing his surroundings.
Unlike in his original world, the place where he lived was different.
The color of the sky was one thing, but the architecture was also the same.
Yet, he quickly calmed himself since he felt that it was normal. It was like how the houses in the West and the East were different due to the culture, so the houses in the Underworld should be different, right?
Frankly, the architecture in the domain of the Phenex house wasn't much different from the Earth, and it was like those modern houses in Europe.
Even so, this scene still marveled him since he had never lived in Europe.
However, the request of his little sister in this world flabbergasted him.
Going out.
He was familiar with this term, and this was also the reason why Ravel brought him to play in their domain.
Yet, why?
[Isn't there a hotel 300 meters away from your location? Tell Ravel that you are tired and take a break there. The security in that hotel is safe, and with your fire manipulation, no one will tell who you two are, so everything will be okay]
What did you mean that everything would be okay?
Also, what would he do when he brought Ravel to the hotel?
[Do you need me to explain?]
"....."
He decided to ignore the system.
Frankly, as long as the system didn't give him options or punishment, such as losing some parts of his body, he could ignore it safely.
Nevertheless, it was the first time he knew the system had a function to give him some information, such as there was a hotel 300 meters away from his location.
"Is there a place that you want to visit, Ravel?"
While he had various places that he wanted to visit, he decided to ask Ravel's opinion, considering it was her initiative to bring him out.
Still, should he be grateful to her?
After all, if she didn't say anything, he might stay holed up in his castle since there was so much information that he needed to understand.
He couldn't be so thoughtless as Hyoudo Issei, who only thought of harem, breasts, and sex.
After all, he didn't have a protagonist halo, and his power was limited. It was impossible to improve anymore, especially when the amount of his demonic power was impossible to improve unless the system gave him help, and everything was set at the moment he was born. Nevertheless, he was lucky that his demonic power had increased by nine times previously because of the system, but that was it, and unless he got his hands on—
'Well, my power should be enough to make me live comfortably.'
With his current power, as long as he didn't fight the last villain in this world, then he should be okay.
"Un!"
Hearing questions from her older brother, Ravel nodded. "Onii-sama, let's have fun today."
"Okay." Riser nodded. "If it isn't fun, then I will complain, though."
"....."
Ravel was speechless, then complained. "Isn't setting up a date supposed to be the responsibility of the gentleman?"
"So, is this a date?" When he asked this question, Riser asked this question, yet his expression turned weird since Ravel was blushing and she was shy.
"..."
What should he do?
[There is a hotel 300 meters away from your location]
"...."
"Ravel, how about we go now?"
"Ye-Yes!"
Once again, Riser decided to ignore the system.
---
Without planning, the two took a lazy stroll around the domain, walking, and trying something that interested them.
Yet, he had to say; Ravel was a beautiful girl.
Or rather, most devils were either handsome or beautiful.
It was also the same case for him.
The original Riser might have been a scumbag, but he was handsome.
[Why hesitate? You are not the original Riser, so everything is okay, right?]
Once again, the system tried to mess up his life.
However, even he had to admit that the system was correct. He wasn't the original Riser, but was it really okay?
"Onii-sama! Let's go over there!"
Ravel showed a bright smile like a girl around her age, pointing at her hand at the gelato store.
"Okay."
The two walked together while looking at the various flavors of the gelato.
"Mint? Cherry Blossoms? Rose? Durian? What is durian?" Ravel was confused. The flower flavors aside, this natto flavor was so strange.
"It's the King of Fruit in East Asia in the human world. It stinks, though; it is delicious when you have gotten used to it."
Frankly, he couldn't care whether a durian existed in the Underworld or not since he couldn't help but glance at Ravel from time to time.
Once again, Ravel was a beautiful girl, and her appearance was like those of a young lady from a wealthy family. Similar to him, she had blonde hair and dark blue eyes.
Were they the traits of the Phenex Family?
Nevertheless, she was cute.
She tied her hair in twin tails with large, drill-like curls and blue ribbons, keeping them in place.
Still, this girl was his little sister, so it was impossible for him to touch her, and instead of thinking about the system that tried to force him to mess with his little sister, he might as well enjoy this simple outing.
"Onii-sama, I want to try the durian taste."
"...are you sure?" His lips twitched.
"You said that it is delicious, right?"
"Well, try it, then. If you can't eat it, then I will eat it."
"Eh...?!"
"What's wrong?" He looked at Ravel in confusion since this girl suddenly blushed.
"No-Nothing!"
Ravel shook her head and wondered why she thought something like that, yet probably everything was her older brother's fault since, from that day, it was hard for her to see him like before.
Hearing the taste of gelato ordered by Ravel, the staff hesitated since she knew that Ravel was the daughter of Lord Phenex.
The situation of the Underworld was like Europe, where nobles ruled their subjects.
Lord Phenex definitely wasn't a bad Lord, but nevertheless, his subjects needed to treat him with the utmost respect, which was different from the Gremory house, which thought of their subjects as family and treated them with kindness.
The staff knew the taste of the durian was like that, so she hesitated since the wrong choice might send her to death.
"It's okay. And can you also give me a vanilla taste?"
"Ah, yes! Please wait for a while."
When Riser talked, the staff was no longer able to say anything and followed the order.
Watching this, Ravel waited for her gelato in excitement, but Riser thought that this world was good.
If he was on the side of the subjects, then he might feel that it wasn't good, but he was on the side of the Lord, the ones that made the rules, so having been treated like a higher being, he felt awkward at first, he felt that it was pretty good.
He knew that some people thought that it might be wrong since everyone required equality.
However, this was an Underworld.
It was a place where the devils resided.
This was different from the Earth, where most humans were living.
Moreover, unlike humans, the devils could be divided into powerful and weak devils.
Could you treat a powerful devil in the same way as a weak devil?
Then, what was the point of gaining power in the first place?
Moreover, those who were strong naturally worked hard, and those who were weak were lazy.
Could you treat the ones that work hard and the lazy the same way?
While that might not be the case with everyone, in most cases, it is like that, right?
In other words, if the devils wanted to be respected, they had to become strong, but if they were okay with the status quo, then they should know who they shouldn't offend and live a quiet and peaceful life on the corner.
Nevertheless, Riser, who was born with a golden spoon, an affluent family, and a powerful talent, felt that his life as Riser wasn't bad at all.
Viva Feudalism!
"Ugh...!"
"Is it not good?"
Riser looked at Ravel, who tasted the durian ice cream for the first time and showed an ugly and disgusting expression. He couldn't help but laugh. "Didn't I tell you before?"
"Onii-sama..." Ravel pouted and hesitated, looking at her gelato. Still, she also felt annoyed since her brother was laughing at her misfortune.
"Take mine. I will eat yours." He rubbed Ravel's hair helplessly, took the durian gelato from Ravel, and gave her his vanilla gelato. Still, unlike her, who couldn't appreciate the taste of durian, he felt that this taste wasn't bad.
However, when he ate the gelato, he didn't realize that Ravel was blushing as she stared at the wooden spoon she used to eat before being used to him; then, she looked at the gelato in her hand. Similar to her gelato, his gelato was also eaten, and they didn't exchange their spoon, so if she ate it, then... then, they would exchange an indirect kiss.
"What's wrong?" He looked at his little sister with doubt.
"No-Nothing!" She then quietly ate his gelato with a blush before the sweet taste of the vanilla spread onto her cute, pink tongue, feeling happy with her reward.

Should I go for it?
